Interesting list. Knowing how these judges can select weird winner (except for this year's)...I bet Nissan Qashqai will win. But my vote will probably go for either Mondeo (everything...price, style, engine, handling, etc..) or fiat 500 (style)

Kia C'eed was designed and built in Europe is it? It looks rather progressive, nothing like most of the Koreans for sale in Singapore.

 

My vote goes for the Mondeo too! The budget Bond Car.

Yup, It's is designed and built in Europe and for europe. It's not exactly cheap either....as fully specs one is only around 2-3k cheaper than a Golf and slightly cheaper than a Astra. But the standard has been raised by a few mark...and hopefully the european will warm up to a korean car.

simple. have a look at the eligibility criteria. Most COTY (car of the year) series impose time rules (i.e vehicle has to be sold new within a certain time frame), in addition most also have rules on vehicles having to be newly designed (i.e. facelifts, panel changes, etc don't count).
